I love the way they took platters and hung them sideways...And going around the ceiling as a border is a fun way to show off your plates and platters!

Have doily plates? Hang them with ribbon or jute rope...:)

Add plates to boxes or anything you can tuck them into...:) It is a different and fun way to display!

Isn't this a cute idea to add to your front door? I love it! Add a piece of paper like wallpaper or scrapbook paper and add your house # to it! If you use scrapbook paper...polyurethane it!

Tell me how you decorate with plates or dishes?

Brought to you by one of my FAVORITE decorating products...Dischangers....I first used this product a few years ago, on a client's antique dish collection...I used them, because they will not damage the plates the way a plate hanger can...Have you tried getting those things on your plates? Don't get me started on that! :) They are truly fabulous! You need to try them when you start your new wall...Look for my upcoming Dischangers giveaway!

I'm currently working on turning a bunch of plates into chalkboards which I will hang on a wall in our kitchen. I'm always on the look out for cute plates because I would love to add them to a collection of "found" wall art.
